22.Noun↑ 1879, Specimens of English Dialects: God drawned the praud children of Adam; the rainbow is a witness; Raven-scout and Beetham-fell to this day shew us the marks of the flead. […] I dont know the derivation of this word, which is a common name for a great precipice. Our waterfall in the river is called sometimes the force, sometimes the scout. The steep ridges of rocks on Beetham-fell, are called scouts, the fell beneath them Underlaade, that is Underload. Raven-scout is the highest-point of a ridge of rocks in Holme-park, adjoining to Farleston-knot, frequented by ravens, and sometimes visited by eagles." The English Dialect Dictionary, saying already a century ago that the word was obsolete or obsolescent, defines it as a "a high rock" instead, and suggests a relation to Old Norse skúti (“cave formed by jutting rocks”). The OED speculates that scout might mean "high overhanging rock". Compare the Kinder Scout.
